When Li Yi got the news about Princess Hui and the monk, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
Princess Hui was a princess after all. She had the support of the Cui family and Noble Consort Cui. In addition, the Chen family and the Shen family did not pursue the matter. Her final punishment was to be grounded for two months. She had to copy the Women's Scripture and Women's Commandments 50 times each. She was grounded in a certain palace. During these two months, no one was allowed to visit her.
Of course, the two glass statues were ultimately still on the Hui King's head, and he was fined a total of 100,000 taels of silver without any mercy. Even for a King, this was not a small sum.
The punishment for the monk was even more severe. In order to reduce the number of people killed, the old emperor was not willing to kill for the next two years. Usually, he would be released after a few hundred years in prison. Of course, during the period of prison, those who had money and those who had strength and power could save a few years of prison time.
This was just a small accident and did not affect the overall situation. The Wang family's colored glaze bazaar would be held as scheduled in two days. The location would be in Lotus Garden. From today onwards, the news would spread throughout the entire capital. This time, there would be more dignitaries and monks. Even the wealthy merchants in the capital who were not of high status but had a lot of silver would be invited.
With such a large scale and lineup, everyone couldn't help but wonder how much glass the Wang Clan had bought from the foreign merchants. Why hadn't they heard anything about it before?
The entire capital was searching for foreign merchants, but those people seemed to have suddenly disappeared without a trace. Everyone could only first set their sights on the Wang family's glaze bazaar in two days' time.
Li Yi's gaze fell on Miss.Liu.
"Out of money again?"
He almost jumped out of his chair and asked, "It's only been a few days. Four thousand taels of silver is gone. What did you use the money for? "
Miss.Liu hugged her sword and said, "You were the one who said I was recruiting soldiers."
"Did you really use it to recruit soldiers?" Li Yi was skeptical.
"Money can make the world go round. This is what you said." Miss.Liu looked at him and said, "Of course I need more money to recruit soldiers."
"How much do you need this time?" Li Yi thought for a while and asked.
If it was used for serious matters, he would not be stingy.
"Three thousand taels."
Li Yi thought about it and said, "I'll give you a hundred thousand taels."
"How much?"
Miss.Liu put down her sword and looked at him.
"One hundred thousand." Li Yi repeated.
Money was made to be spent. If he left the money at home, he would have to take it out every once in a while. In any case, there would be a large sum of money coming in in two days, so he might as well be generous all at once.
Miss.Liu looked wary and asked, "Did you do something behind my back?"
Li Yi was startled for a moment, then he waved his hand and said, "Three thousand taels, go to the accountant and get it yourself."
Until now, Li Yi had no idea how bold Miss.Liu was. Even if she was given a million taels of silver, she could spend it all in a short time, let alone a hundred thousand taels of silver.
However, at the moment, he did not know what kind of monster would be created in the future because of this hundred thousand taels of silver and a generous chief of Wulin …
When Miss.Liu was about to go to the accountant, Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Just in time, the organization has a new task for you to complete …"
…

Golden Jade Pavilion was the largest jewelry shop in the Jing Kingdom, mainly selling jewelry and precious utensils. It had branches in all the states and capitals of the Jing Kingdom.
Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone knew that the one who controlled Golden Jade Pavilion behind the scenes was the famous Cui Family.
The capital was the gathering place of the powerful officials and rich businessmen in the Jing Kingdom, so the Cui Family attached great importance to this place. The shopkeeper of Golden Jade Pavilion in the capital was a core member of the Cui Family who was good at business.
A young man went around to the back room and said to a middle-aged man who was sitting there and sipping tea, "Third Uncle, today someone came to ask if we have any colored glaze wares here. There are two pieces in the warehouse, and they offered a high price. Why don't we sell them?"
"What do you know?" The middle-aged man put down his teacup and said, "His Majesty has just held a Colored Glaze Appreciation Conference, and the Wang Family will also sell a lot of colored glaze. At that time, most people will have colored glaze in their hands. What will those who didn't get it think?"
The young man asked doubtfully, "The rarer something is, the more expensive it is. At that time, won't the price of colored glaze drop?"
"The rarer something is, the more expensive it is, but the supply of colored glaze cannot meet the demand. How can the price go down?" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "At that time, those people will only be more crazy …"
When the young man was about to ask, he suddenly frowned and turned around to have a look. There was a noise coming from the front hall.
"Second Uncle, I'll go to the front to have a look." The young man said and strode forward.
"Get out of here, you beggars. Don't disturb the business of Golden Jade Pavilion." A shop assistant of Golden Jade Pavilion said impatiently, "If you don't get out of here, I won't be polite."
In front of him stood a few strangely dressed, ragged people.
"What's going on?" The young man walked out from the back and asked with a frown.
Seeing the young man come out, the shop assistant immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "Young Master, there are a few beggars. I'm going to drive them out!"
"There are guests coming in. Go and do your work. I'll talk to them." Seeing someone coming in, the young man pointed at him and said.
"Young Master, these people …" The shop assistant seemed to want to say something.
"Go." The young man waved his hand and the shop assistant had to leave.
The young man looked at those people and said, "You beggars, there's nothing here for you. Go quickly."
The beggar in the front looked at him and seemed to be a little anxious. He said, "% ¥#% ¥# @ @!" "…"
The young man was stunned and asked, "What did you just say?"
"% ¥#% ¥# @ @!" The expression on the man's face became more anxious.
The young man finally realized something and a trace of anger appeared on his face. He said, "Bastard, how dare you tease me. Someone, drive them out!"
"Wait!"
A voice suddenly came from behind. The middle-aged man came forward and looked at those people suspiciously. He asked, "Are you from a foreign country?"
Then he seemed to realize something and asked again, "Do any of you understand Chinese?"
"I …"
Behind them, a man with messy hair and a somewhat thin body walked out. His appearance was obviously different from ordinary people. He stuttered and said, "I, I, I understand a little. Your words …"
"Are you from a foreign country?" The middle-aged man asked with a trace of joy on his face.
"No!" The man opposite him showed a proud expression and said, "We, we are from the great … Great Britain, Great Britain and … Northern Ireland Union, United Kingdom … The Unsetting Sun Empire …"
The middle-aged man's face was filled with excitement. He didn't care whether these people were from the Kingdom of Madness or the Kingdom of the Unsetting Sun. Just by looking at their appearance, their broken Mandarin, and the big boxes behind them, he knew that these people were probably foreign merchants!
The foreign merchants that the entire capital was looking for!
The middle-aged man suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"We have a lot of glass. We want to sell it to you," the man said.
He turned around and waved to the people behind him. Someone immediately opened the two big boxes. The middle-aged man took a look inside and his eyes immediately became a little dazed.
In those boxes, the glassware looked like ordinary porcelain, piled up randomly. With a cursory glance, one could see that there were dozens of pieces in one box. Adding up the two boxes ….
He rushed up and closed the box. He turned back and said loudly to the shop assistants, "See the guests out and close the door. Jinyu Pavilion is closed today!"
